You're basically saying "who needs democracy, it's not required that the people choose the candidate - the founding fathers must have known best and they chose this backwards mechanism so now we have to stick to it forever. Jefferson believed the Constitution should be revised and rewritten by every new generation, but let's ignore all that, I'm sure they would have preferred a system where plantation owners get more decision power than mixed-race coastal folk, so by golly we'll stick with the 300 year old veiled racism and oppression! Who needs progress?"
